Ineffective Sump Pump
This sump pump was ineffective because it was running constantly even though there was an excess amount of standing water still present in the space. Not to mention, the water within in a sump pump without an airtight lid will evaporate into the space and create an excess amount of moisture in the air. This can eventually lead to mold and rot.
Moisture Enters Through The Ground
Concrete is extremely porous, meaning any source of water and water vapor can easily pass through it creating standing water and moisture in the air . Without properly waterproofing the space, the puddles of water will continue to evaporate upward into your home.
Drainage Matting Helps Water Flow Easily to Sump Pump
The dimpled texture on the drainage matting stops water from getting trapped underneath the CleanSpace liner by helping it flow easily to the sump pump.
Eliminate Water With a SmartSump
If water is an issue in your crawl space, investing in a SmartSump sump pump will ensure your space stays dry by collecting water and pumping it outside of your home. This sump pump includes an airtight lid and pump alarm that will go off if the pump fails so you can deal with the problem before the crawl space floods.
Waterproof Your Crawl Space With the CleanSpace Liner
CleanSpace is a durable, plastic liner that encapsulates your crawl space to keep the outside environment from getting in. The liner is waterproof and vapor proof so you will never have to worry about a wet or damp space.
Additional Discharge Line
An additional discharge line was installed to ensure water collected in the sump pump can efficiently exit the home.
Combat Frozen Discharge Lines with IceGuard
In the wintertime, pipes can freeze leaving your crawl space flooded because water from your sump pump is unable to exit your home. An IceGuard is installed at the end of a discharge line and allows any water to automatically flow out of the holes in the system even if the pipe is frozen.
